I'm really surprised they're not doing streaming with New Mutants, I just dropped the cash to buy a copy of Bill & Ted 3 since it's right there, I would have done the same for this curse film. But just lol if you think my fat rear end is gonna be in a theater seat before summer 21

I would have seen Tenet opening weekend if it wasn't for all of this, but I'm going to wait for it to appear on digital.

I really want to see it, but lol I'm not going into a theater.


Edit: how did bill and ted do? That was released digitally and I bought it that Friday.

I've seen people grumbling about how it would suck if Black Widow, of all possible characters, isn't able to get a theater release for her movie, but at the same time, I'm not sure what Disney would be expected to do. They have to release the movie eventually.

Also, even if Premier Access didn't work out for Mulan, surely an MCU movie has a different draw though, right?

No. I'm not spending 30 bucks to rent a movie. I dropped that on Bill&Ted because now it's in my amazon library and I can watch it whenever and however many times I want. If it's like fifteen bucks, I'll probably rent it. But otherwise I'm gonna act like it's 2005 again.

My wife and I miss our date nights being at the large multiplex cinema chain that had super comfortable recliner seats.

Like as tempting as it is to design our own home cinema in our new house, that stuff is super expensive. Both the cinema and the recliner seats.

Yeah, the new superhero movie was the time all my friends would get together and then head out to the bar afterwards to bullshit. With jobs and families, hanging out like that didn't happen often and VOD just isn't the same. Plus, I like that terrible popcorn.

Still haven't eaten indoors in a restaurant since before the shutdowns, and just being in any kind of indoor environment for that long is a big risk. Plus I don't trust people to keep their masks on enough.

Well, I did it.

Due to the unspeakable popular demand that totally exists, I made a video essay about everyone's favorite movie, Man of Steel. Specifically about Pa Kent, my favorite character! I mean there's a bunch of stuff dissecting superhero mentor tropes but we all know what the people really want. Yes, it's 45 minutes. Yes, it's all downhill from there.

I would like to sincerely thank everyone here, because this is absolutely all your fault. Special shout-out to A loving Pandemic, which gave me the free time to do anything like this. <3

Hopefully there will be more, everyone said! In fact, next one will probably be about Doctor Strange.

I need to add another like to New Mutants, I totally enjoyed the whole movie. Sam's powers looked so loving awesome. I was expecting a trainwreck, but there wasn't really anything wrong with it.

Now, Roberto and Celia were way whiter than they should have been, and Illyana's racism could turn people off as well, but the later was just part of her being a giant rear end in a top hat and goes away as she bonds with the others. Also, Sam isn't blonde but I don't want that to be lumped in with the whitewashing of two darker skinned characters, it just made me nerd grumble.

Rhane's werewolf claws were dumb looking, but whatever. It was fun, watch it.

I dunno, they could have written Ilyana as an rear end in a top hat without the racism, but the writers chose to do so anyway. Coupled with the director's interview and basically saying he doesn't see the need to cast a darker-skinned character for Roberto, it's just a really bad look.



Yeah, I'm not gonna judge anyone for writing it off because of that.

So for some reason I was wondering what ever happened to Ain't It Cool News and, welp, I'll give you three guesses!

That's right, the guy who wrote *that* Blade 2 review, was accused of sexual assault. Just looking at google synopsis because I have no desire to research further, it looks like Harry had been groping women. drat, that used to be one of my daily visted websites back in the late 90s and early aughts.

Spoilers for bad thing cw sexual assault So we're all agreeing that Diana basically raped not steve, right? Guy was a real person who got body jacked for monkey paw reasons and existed after steve left. Like this is bugging me because all they needed to do, and what I expected them to do, was have the guy be a reincarnation of steve, but they had to go with lol fish out of water and now things are gross.

Also, Diana initially wrote of Barbara just like everyone else, she just wasn't a dick about someone who needed help. She had zero interest in hanging out together until Barbara got the assignment to catalogue the recovered antiquities from the heist.

Nothing in this movie approached the physicality of the amazing No Man's Land scene from the first one, and this slidey bullshit carries no weight or power. I didn't hate it, but I have no desire to watch it again.

Also also: My buddy said she stole Goldar's look and now I can't unsee it.

I still plan to watch it. I still have to watch Birds of Prey for my "marathon". But like, rewatching all the DCEU movies the last couple of weeks its not like my expectations for WW84 were especially high anyway. If there's some stuff I enjoy but part of a largely flawed/mess of a film then that's kinda the DCEU in a nutshell.

Birds of Prey is really fun as long as you can make the disconnect between the character called Casandra Caine in the movie, and the actual Cassandra Caine from the comics because holy poo poo that is not batgirl

It's definitely kinda weird that these films have to play around the setup of WW being a secret figure that's been hidden all these years, but she's also just out there in full costume all the time talking with everyone, she doesn't wear a mask, she led a siege into the White House??, and also she uses the exact same name -- Diana Prince -- in World War I, in the 80s, and also the 00s, doing apparently the exact same vocation.

And I don't think it's ever actually going to be explained, it's just...Hypertime or whatever.

no no, she did the SHHH signal to that one little girl, so it's all good

Sorry to bring this up, and I understand that there is some bleedover between movies and tv shows and whatnot but could the WandaVision chat go to the tv thread. Just in general there is a TV thread and a movie thread and it's a bit annoying seeing black spoiler boxes for a tv show here. Thanks for reading my annoying whiny post about forums and have a good day

Yeah, I'd rather read the same loving snyder chat over and over again every three weeks. Wandavision and many of the D+ shows are tied into the MCU and belong here. If anything, please make a Syderverse thread so this poo poo can be quarantined.
